I'm not talking just about religion of choice, but issues like premarital sex, attending church regulary, how often you read the bible, etc.

I used to not share with my husband certain things, but as our marriage matures(we have been married nine years) I find that we both open up more. You know how it is in the beginning, so eager to share with the other one. And then that desire goes away for a while. But, as your love deepens into a more mature love and you are comfortable with each other just as you are, you share on a deeper level. And you don't have to talk about deep things every day. We probably have a real deep conversation that isn't about kids or daily life about once or twice a month. But, it's worth it. And I am not afraid to share with him. He knows my beliefs well. His beliefs are different from mine, but we tolerate each other and I have every reason to believe and I have faith that one day every person in my house will say"As for me and my house we will serve the Lord."

This is probably just fear and insecurity talking if you feel this way. Your SO should accept things - it might not be easy, or quick, but it is necessary for a serious long-term relationship. Time to focus on communication!
My BF has stopped making comments about people who go to Mass more than once a week, because as a devout Catholic, I try to go daily. He's Catholic too, but not as serious as I am.

Yes. We're from two different cultures. HEs' very understanding, and pretty open. But he grew up in a closed culture, I grew up in the same one, but in a different country, so the cultures are different. OUr life experiences are also different, so that will also factor in to our beliefs. But I"m sure we'll be discussing things...especially when kids come into the picture.

... no. If I was, I'd know I shouldn't be in a relationship with them because they don't love me for me but only the lies and secrets I've kept from them.
You might like to consider that too. If you're afraid to tell your significant other the truth about yourself, then maybe they aren't the one for you.

That's not much of a relationship if you have to lie or otherwise decieve the person. I can get pretty vocal about some things and my husband just laughs and tells me "you have issues."

Not at all. I'm Pagan and he's Deist... we don't always see eye to eye, but I have absolutely no fear of sharing Anything about my beliefs - religious or otherwise - with him. He wouldn't be offended by what I have to say, nor would I be offended by anything he had to say.

no way. if this is the person one has chosen to spend the majority of their time with, one would think that these things would have been discussed already. not only that, but, how would these topics offend someone you should know quite well already?

Nope. My boyfriend is an Atheist, I'm an Agnostic, and we agree about pretty much everything. If you can't talk about this stuff seriously with your so, somethings wrong.

I've got an opinion on everything, and I don't keep them to myself. My husband and I may not agree on all the issues, but we have no problem communicating our respective opinions.

I'm an atheist and my girlfriend is a universalist. We disagree on a few things but why should that stop us from loving each other?
